IBM released WSRR (WebSphere Services Registry and Repository) 8.5.5 earlier this year in March. You can find a brief summary of new features here.
Even though this was released some time ago, I wanted to take the opportunity highlight the new Virtual System Pattern that was delivered in April. You can find more details on this page in the Knowledge Center, the diagram below shows what the pattern looks like. Note that the pattern re-uses the existing DB2 10.5 Software Components, so if you are familiar with those it will make working with WSRR on PureApplication even easier.

Clients who have entitlement for WSRR can use this PureApplication pattern free of charge. Also note that this pattern is available for both Intel and POWER based PureApplication Systems (as well as PureApplication Service on SoftLayer and PureApplication Software). You can find the pattern on Passport Advantage using the following name or part number:
